Conventionally, there are problems that high resolution is difficult to be achieved since an extreme narrow width bank can not be formed and an aperture ratio as a light-emitting device is low. In addition, there is a threat of electrostatic discharge damage or adhesion of dust during the transportation of a substrate provided with an anode into the equipment for depositing EL material. In view of the foregoing, a first bank formed of an inorganic insulating film is formed, and an insulating film is formed thereon, then, a second bank in contact with a side face of the first bank by carrying out etch back, and then, a side wall bank is formed. For preventing electrostatic discharge damage, an antistatic layer is formed, and the substrate is transported, then, the antistatic layer is removed to form the second bank.

A mechanism for controlling resources and/or settings of an access network element like a base station is provided which allows an autonomous reconfiguration of, for example, the antenna configuration based on a set of performance indicators in a base station. The base station can reconfigure itself without the need of operator control so that during periods with low capacity demands the base station will reconfigure correspondingly, which may include a reduction of active cells by turning off the power for a part of the installed equipment.

An access-point node to a first network cell of a radio access network, to an access-center node and to a radio access network enable local service providers in rural areas to provide mobile telecommunication at low cost for end users. The access-point node of the invention is configured to establish, maintain, and release a local user-data radio channel, which consists of a first local channel section having as endpoints a first terminal device located in the network cell and the access-point node, and of a second local channel section having as endpoints the access-point node and a second terminal device located in the network cell. The access-point node is configured to exchange packetized user data and control data with an assigned superordinate access-center node for establishing, maintaining and releasing communication between the first terminal device and a third terminal device located outside the network cell. Link cost between the radio access network and the core network may be strongly reduced.

An improved stent design and stent delivery catheter assembly for repairing a main vessel and a side branch vessel forming a bifurcation. The stent includes rings aligned along a common longitudinal axis and connected by links, where the stent has one or more portals for aligning with and partially expanding into the opening to the side branch vessel. The stent is implanted at a bifurcation so that the main stent section is in the main vessel, and the portal section covers at least a portion of the opening to the side branch vessel. A second stent can be implanted in the side branch vessel and abut the expanded central section to provide full coverage of the bifurcated area in the main vessel and the side branch vessel. Radiopaque markers on the stent and on the tip of the delivery catheter assist in aligning the portal section with the opening to the side branch vessel.

Method and apparatus for programmatically generating interesting audio file playlists. A playlist generation mechanism may use an N-gram model of audio file ordering patterns found in a collection of human-generated playlists to automatically generate new playlists. Given play histories indicating one or more played audio files as input, statistical methods may be used to look for sequences of audio files that occur a statistically significant number of times in the N-gram model for inclusion in new, interesting playlists that incorporate the human element found in the collection of playlists. In some embodiments, one more backoff probability methods may be used to provide additional candidate audio files for playlists if there is insufficient coverage for an audio file in the N-gram model. In one embodiment, a class-based statistical model incorporating higher-level statistics for the audio files may be used to weight selection of audio file transitions from the N-gram model.

Rain water is deflected from the foundation wall of a building structure by a flashing of non-ferrous metal that is fastened to the foundation below the grade level of the soil. Soil is trenched and exposed about the foundation, and the flashing is installed in the trench around the perimeter of the foundation wall. After installation, the trench is backfilled with soil thereby covering the flashing and restoring grade. During heavy rains or floods, water seeping into the soil is deflected away from the foundation by the flashing. This prevents water from pooling at the bottom of the foundation and seeping up into the structure through the joint where the foundation meets the basement floor.

Stent designs for use in peripheral vessels, such as the carotid arteries, are disclosed.

A broadcast transmission will generate a packet storm in a mesh network, which will last for a very long time and block the network for other traffic. There is a parameter in a broadcast control mechanism named radius which controls the duration of the packet storm. The invention proposes to dynamically select the smallest radius to reduce the packet storm to a minimum, by reporting the smallest possible radius parameter for the broadcast control mechanism. Each device or node of the network comprises a neighbor table for tracking which of its neighboring devices or nodes has successfully relayed the broadcast transmission. Additionally, each device or node comprises a broadcast transaction table to keep a record of any new broadcast transmission or transaction that is either initiated locally or received from a neighboring device or node. Each broadcast transmission comprises a so called radius parameter R which indicates an allowed number of hops through the mesh network before the broadcast transmission is discarded. The mechanism to report broadcast status may be realized in an exemplary embodiment of the invention by adding two new tables to track broadcasting status from neighboring devices: the child table, to which the concerned network node or network device has transmitted or relayed a broadcast transmission, and the broadcast listening table; and by adding three fields into the broadcast transaction table: the radius, report interval and report timeout; and also by adding two new parameters into broadcast message itself: report interval and report timeout.
